Weather Discussion
Overnight low temperatures have begun a slow ascent toward the 20’s over the last 12 hours. Breezy winds are helping to scour the cold air out, though some colder valley floor temperatures will persist into Thursday night.
A storm off the coast of southern Canada will move on shore today. Clouds associated with this system stretch down the west coast to Mexico, and these will move across the Great Basin and into Colorado today. With any luck we will see some snow showers develop along our northern zones later this evening. The jet stream and main storm track will be well north of our state, so any snow we get will be on the light side and north of the 40th parallel. With Colorado south of the jet stream core, we can expect some rather windy conditions near and above treeline for Thursday and into Friday.
A high pressure ridge will strengthen on Friday and persist into the weekend bringing mild temperatures and generally clear skies.
The next storm of note is forecast for the middle of next week.
